DC Women in Politics (DC WIP) are urging you to vote in the District of Columbia Special Election on April 23, 2013 for one (1) At-Large City Council Seat. Currently, there are eight (8) individuals running; two women and six men. We are desirous of electing a woman for the seat and ask your assistance in getting a woman elected: Anita Bonds or Elissa Silverman. We enjoy such a large female population in DC with too few representing the masses in the District of Columbia, let's change that!

Also, we are asking you to be forward thinking towards the upcoming Election in 2014 and make female recommendations NOW to provide the recommended person time to prepare to Announce, Pick-up petitions and Prepare for a campaign. DC WIP will provide assistance in following the necessary steps in the process.

Below are important dates and elected offices becoming available to candidates in 2013 and 2014:
